"Added a Sunroom and turned an unfinished basement into an apartment. Distinctive Design did a fantastic job. They were more than willing to work with me when I wanted to change the dimensions of a room because they understand things can change. They kept to their promised schedule and were great to work with. I highly recommend Distinctive Design Remodeling."

Customers say: Quick response

"Carlos did an excellent job with our basement bathroom. Our bathroom looks better than I could have imagined. Our house was built in 1950, and the basement was completely unfinished. Now itâ s beautiful and functional. Carlos answered all the questions I had, and explained what he was doing during the whole renovation. We will definitely be hiring for future projects. Carlos was very professional, kind and courteous, and I highly recommend him to anyone doing home improvements."

"My back kitchen wall had severe water damage that ruin most of the drywall and rotted window sill inside and out. We had two really old windows and decided to go to one. We had them to replace the drywall, outside wood which included reframing the window and covering the previous window. The also painted to match the colors inside and out. Also had the to replace a piece of the floor by the back door because it had became soft and while doing that check the joists and other floor in that area. Mike Cash came out for the estimate and was courteous and informative. He did all that he could to keep the project as low as possible. The crew took 3 1/2 days to complete the project. Steven and Jon worked hard and efficient. They explain the steps and answered my questions. We have a dog and they made sure the gate stayed close while they were there. They were very knowledgeable. They were pleasant and friendly. The cost for the project was a very fair price. Definitely will hire them again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you’ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you’re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you’ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you’re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you’ll save considerable money.
